  1. must have stashed them away, none available (turbos)off the floor anywhere, mates after one, I know that yard might send him there.
  2. my excess is the same as other years ben, I asked about it and increasing my excess by $200 only made the premium $50 cheaper,not worth it I reckon. I tried iselect and found it to be basicly useless.I have some minor cosmetic legal mods. after filling out the online details form they couldnt match me with anyone? you are better off speaking directly with insurance companies. what really sh*ts me is all the companies in australia are basicly owned by 2 or 3 companies (underwriters) eg: suncorp (dearest) owns aami (cheapest),aami underwrites justcars (legalised robbery).suncorp are one of the dearest nearly as bad as shannons who are under written by AAI (one of the other parent companies) your screwed no matter who you end up with.
  3. yeah I got reamed by AAMI this year too,mine went up $220. because of the "new system". been with them for 15 years,no claims nothing and this is the thanks I get. tried shannons amongst others and wished I could reach thru the phone and slap them, $500 dearer than anyone else. "has to be shannons" my arse!
  4. just picked up some nulon, 10/40, 7ltrs - 1x6ltr, 1x1ltr bottles for $28! redeemed my $26 credit on my membership card. not bad for $80 normal price worth of oil !! the 5/40 is also on sale too.
  5. Yes they are the same lights sold by a different company. Unlike the altezza rubbish there are only the two shades available,red smoked and black smoked lights.mine are red,work perfectly and light up better than bulb taillights because of the led's.a lot of jap and Korean cars as well as Expensive Daewoo caprice's have them std,exactly the same set up.
  6. I have led tail and brake lights,blinkers and reverse are normal bulbs,each light came with two sets of resistors for each light.they do not get hot as im aware of that problem and gave the lights a workout as in lights on/off before bolting them in. that and they have cooling fins on them as well.where they are positioned also cools them perfectly as there is an enormous cavity behind the bumper that draws cool air up into them.if you get the sort of lights I have GeGe6 you shouldnt have a problem with them.mine are fine.-http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FG-Smoke-Red-LED-Tail-Lights-Ford-Falcon-FPV-FG-Sedan-G6E-Turbo-XT-XR6-XR8-GT-GS-/321238303072?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4acb4b8160&_uhb=1
  7. Never thunk of that! Ah well I can allways enjoy a toke or two from a well rolled spliff instead.
  8. excellent oil too. I got my redeem dollars y'day as well. so how does that work? does it mean the oil is 20 odd bucks instead or do I still pay the 40 bucks on special price?-not that im complaining mind you.
  9. these are my interior led lights,blue interior and white in the boot. the boot light is gives off a good brightness,these shots were taken in my garage in the dark to show their brightness. I got these off evil bay but supercheap has them too
  10. yes,buy it,that aint a bad deal especially if you can knock them down a bit more,xr6t's are great cars,imprezzas are as gay as the 20yr old datsuns that the import brigade gloat about.
  11. this is my 2012 mk2 xr6t 'limited edition'. as you can see its basicly a luxo pack minus the dual climate control-single climate only.yes velocity the mk2 at least have ipod/usb connection in the console. the 'LE'S came with full leather,black console surround,carbon fibre look dash and door trim,reverse sensors with camera,19' wheels-new style- and according to my dealer some got a full size alloy spare or sat nav but not both.I got the wheel,dont need sat nav as I already have one.they are/were similar to the 50th ann models in features minus a few op's like side mirror blinkers etc.. but they are a bloody good buy. new mk 2 turbos are all gone from what ive been told,still a few new n/a's for sale. that's of course if your after new.hope this helps
  12. for those that could use this,heres a calculator that measures and compares your current offset (std for example) to the new wheels you want.it shows gaurd clearance etc.. possibly one of the best calcs around,very accurate http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator

  14. there is an article in S/M mag about this horsesh*t, a lobby group is starting up with kevin bartlett heading it. dont know if it will do any good though. that moron jack dempsey is doing his best to bring back the police state that's for sure. heres an example of the current laws- a work mate chirped his back wheels changing into second unintentionally,cop going the other way saw the little puff coming from the back wheels,4 court appearances later workmate got to keep his car but at a cost -court fees etc..- what a complete joke this is, traffic branch-its where all the inbred cops go.
  15. ; everything you could need to clean your wheels;http://www.waxit.com.au/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=18&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1the poorboys wheel wax is good stuff in particular... pm me for some other places as im not sure if im allowed to post them all in the one reply
  16. yeah your probably right there.. ah well it was just an idea but any track would be better than willowbank FFS..
  17. every 5 days maybe lol. ah sh*t! bloody raining again!
  18. +1 here too, ive seen it,lots of loverly silicon based ingredients and clear based fillers.
  19. what about lakeside for a venue? has everything we would need, 1/8 mile strip, toilets/showers etc.. the track absolutely sh*ts all over willowbank, more open space to camp/park,shops nearby.. its mainly used by clubs these days, its also owned by QR. a workmate races his rex there so I maaaay be able to put some feelers out?
  20. definately something im not missing that's for sure,constant debating/whinging about this make af zorst is better than that brand of zorst because it bends up this way better or tucks up better or you will lose/gain x amount of hp if you do this or buy that ...whinge...whinge etc..
  21. I walked in to one of the dealerships when looking for my fg wearing ruggers,blue singlet and thongs,one salesman made a bee line to me straight away,I commented on it and his response was " we have no idea if you are a genuine customer,a looker or what we fear most a mystery shopper sent by fords marketing dept,we cant risk it as these mystery shoppers can get us fired on the spot" so there you go. I did a bit of research on these mystery shoppers, they are normal folk employed to go out to dealerships and ask questions,lots of questions and then hand over their results to ford who then follow up. its a ploy used in a lot of retail industries apparently.supposed to keep the staff on their toes
